divided receipts.
il WAS not until after 10 o'clock that the
principals appeared on the stage ana were
received with tumultuOus applause by the
vast audience. klllcn was trnneu "o 10 Il
10 1870 pounds. and At first looked as II he
mad been Oyertraiued. He was seconded
by Tommy Warren, the champion leather
weight, and Hank Leele. Cardiff weighed
about I~U pounds and was in better condl-
ZION. if possible, than when he met Sulii-
van last winter. His seconds were Prof.
John Donaldson and Jerry Murphy.
Ii was fully ten minutes before a referee
WIS chosen, and the audience was bcCOm-
iug impatient when finally the seconds
agreed on Ed. Cain, of this city, and that
gentleman, dressed m an elegant Prince
Albert coat, which he djSdaiued TO remove,
mounted the steps and took his place III
the ring. The gloves were adjusted, the
seconds and time-keepers bctook them
$, ives outside the ropes. and At last the
two mea who have for a year been Spat-
ting al each other through the papers faced
each other and time was called.

nary spIrrlug. started nj kIlleu with q
rush. landed his left on kIlleu's body, and
then went for his face ut the same time
pushing him to the ropes. killeu was very
feeble in his defense, aud thOugh he fought
back failed to land on Cardin The rush
made hy the latter was the event OF the
round, aud the round itself was the hvell-
est OF the ten fought At the close killeu
was bleeding freely from the nose and had
D hllckened and swollen LETT eye. Cardiff
had decidedly the best of the round, and
carried the applause OF the house. The
prediction was everywhere made that he
would win.

lighting, making four PUSHES, aud each
time with advantage. hIlltu stood his

on the breast Car,!iA was the lresher AT
